Molecular neuroscience and endocrinology. The mechanisms and treatments of sleep disorders and psychomotor retardation using the zebrafish model. Techniques: Genetic manipulations, imaging of single molecules, synapses and neurons in live zebrafish using two-photon microscope and highthroughput video-tracking of behavior.

Working on ecology, systematic, and phylogenetics of coral inhabiting barnacles. Current research focus on marine symbiotic associations, including protozoan, acoel worms, barnacles, and corals. I have great interest in invertebrate reproduction.

Study of biogeochemistry of modern analogs of ancient ocean; evolution of sulfur cycle through the Earth history; research of impact of sulfur cycle on cycling of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and metals on local and global scales; elucidation of sulfide oxidation intermediates role in sulfur biogeochemistry

Animal behaviour, neuroethology, sensory ecology, vision and visually guided behaviour in vertebrates including fishes, fish eating birds and chameleons. A main subject of research is vision through the air-water interface of birds and fishes.

Research interests: Coral physiology and ecology, biomineralization, using molecular and proteomic tools to understand coral calcification mechanism and how calcifying marine organisms respond physiologically and morphologically to changes in their environment.

As an Industrial Designer my focus is how design and design thinking can support scientific research. My research interest is in equipment design, 3D underwater design, user interface and man-machine ergonomics, materials, algorithm and shapes relationship.

The long and short-term environment changes that effect and modify complex biological systems on a multitude of levels, with emphasis on the study of corals and marine phytoplankton. The enhancement of our understanding of the fundamental effects of global climatic changes on the marine environment.
